Finding your dream property in France is the fun part but actually going through the sale itself and everything that comes afterwards can quickly turn into a French administrative nightmare!

Trailing through the quagmire of French financial structures and legal processes can be very complicated, especially if you don’t speak the language and subjects such as Capital Gains Tax, inheritance laws, tax implications, the French equivalent of rates and council tax….. can easily be overlooked.

We will stay with you during the whole process, supplying mortgage advice if necessary, advising you how to best set up the legal side of things and dealing with the notary.

If you need to do work on your property, we can help you find the best artisans and then if you wish to rent it out, take care of the property management including the bookings.

If you are selling a property, we will advise and guide you through the process. Home staging and excellent photography are often the keys to enticing the client and too often ignored. Our services include marketing your property in the best possible light in order to clinch that all important sale.
